Institute Submits Outcome-Based Pathway for Inclusion in the 2018 IECC

Building on a multi-year, industry-wide effort to include an outcome-based pathway for energy compliance into the 2015 International Green Construction Code (IgCC), the National Institute of Building Sciences has introduced a similar proposal to be considered for inclusion in the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) (CE37-16). The International Code Council (ICC) Committee Action Hearings will review proposed changes to the IECC Commercial Building Provisions April 22 in Louisville, Kentucky. An assortment of industry representatives, including the New Buildings Institute (NBI), Institute for Market Transformation (IMT) and National Insulation Association (NIA), are in support of the proposal.
